27 Chapter 603 Rumors of the Skinning Cellar
Due to the geographical environment, there are patches of black swamps in a forest in the northeast of Kurast, so it was named Huge Wetland by the Kurast people. All chapters are welcome
To strangers, the huge wetland is like a deserted place of death. It has swallowed up the lives of countless travelers. Under the swamp, there are graves filled with bones.
But for those who are familiar with the swamp terrain, it is a paradise, especially the hunters of Kurast, who like to use the swamp terrain to hunt here. If adventurers are familiar with it, they can also use the terrain to deal with monsters.
Therefore, there is no absolute in everything, but a double-edged step. It just depends on whether you can be successful.
We didn’t plan to spend time getting familiar with the swamp terrain, so everyone happily agreed with the little ghost’s suggestion of a detour. Before the rainy day came, a group of six people hurried on and spent more than four days. When they saw magic on the intersection When the four marked people "recorded the forest", we knew that we had finally reached our destination.
The terrain of Kurast Forest is different from what we have walked in the past. For example, in Lugaoyin, we have to pass through the gravel wilderness before reaching the next area of dry highland. Starting from the Spider Forest, we can either follow the gradual Spider Girl The route from the forest to the huge wetland to Lupi Senli to the lower level of ancient Kurast can also go directly from the Zimei Forest to the Lupi Forest.
But if you want to reach the lower level of ancient Gulast, you must go through the Spider Forest route. There may be other paths to take, but the Alliance has not discovered it yet and is too lazy to expend manpower and material resources to explore. This behavior is like knowing that La You can pee just by opening the chain, but you have to take off the entire pants to show that you are an extraordinary person walking an extraordinary path.
"These dwarfs seem to be stronger."
Two hours after entering the Lupi Forest, we encountered five teams of about fifty dwarves led by a dwarf mage with a kilogram of mini-boss level and an ordinary dwarf mage. We managed to kill them without any danger. After it was eliminated, Vilas said with a slight frown.
These dwarfs are stronger than the dwarfs in the Spider Forest in terms of speed and health. I was already familiar with the strength of the dwarfs in the Spider Forest and calculated the best attack combination for the five dwarfs to deal with them. The mage was a bit busy and was approached by the dwarves several times. Fortunately, the little ghost's exorcism was launched in time, allowing them to eliminate these monsters without any harm.
"Of course. The dwarfs in the Skin Recording Forest are advanced monsters of the dwarves in the Spider Sister Forest. They are called Skin Recorders. They should be stronger."
Sitting on Xiao Jia's back, I walked up from behind, responded with a smile, and looked at her like a princess. All chapters are welcome
"Calculating the most appropriate and economical means of attack is indeed an essential quality for a good adventurer team. However, you are still a little inexperienced in responding to emergencies, so you cannot be like other teams and be too calculating. , I would rather spend more energy, but also have room for improvement. Not to mention that the same kind of monsters will advance, even monsters at the same stage have slightly different health and attack power."
Ah, she turned her head away. The little princess turned her head away as if nothing had happened. It was rare for my master to teach me kindly, but she didn't appreciate it. Is there really such an arrogant maid in this world?
Seeing Princess Sanwu, with her big and bright bright yellow eyes open, she suddenly tilted her head, completely ignoring my meaningful gaze, I immediately gritted my teeth in anger, and countless ways of revenge flashed through my mind. Don’t mention it.
Since it is called the Skin Recording Forest, even if I think with my toes, I know that the most monsters in this area are probably the Skin Recorders. With such mental preparation, after hanging around here for a few days, I Still stunned by fright.
Now we are still in the outer layer of the skin-recording forest. Before we go deep, we have already met many dwarves. Because skin-recorders are the advanced level of dwarves, adventurers are also called dwarves uniformly. Those who go out to hunt The largest number of dwarfs we encountered in the Spider Girl Forest was no more than two hundred.
But yesterday, we saw with our own eyes a group of thousands of dwarfs, densely packed and swarming, just like the overwhelming, stacked layers of ants, sweeping across from a distance with an astonishing momentum.
Just one hunting team has such a large number. It is hard to believe how big the tribe that accommodates these dwarfs is. I am afraid there should be five or six thousand, or even tens of thousands. And if the leader of the entire tribe is a dwarf, As for the wizard, Xiaosuke's level of strength will definitely not be able to escape, and if it is a dwarf, it is not surprising that it is a demon king level.
I finally understand why when they first supported the elves, those dark wanderers were able to easily organize millions of dwarves. Most of them must have been gathered from the Lupi Forest.
It is only a few years before we can support the elves in the operation. Now the number of these dwarves is growing like an ocean. If I still have the token of the dwarves, I might be able to walk around the Lupi Forest with it. circle, it would not be surprising to gather millions more.
It's really terrifying colonization and vitality. For the first time, I understand so deeply why some people say that no matter how advanced the technology is, cockroaches and mice cannot be eradicated.
With the strength of the five Vilas, it is not a big problem to deal with dwarfs less than two hundred in number. Especially after getting familiar with the strength of these dwarfs, they can almost do no harm if they are less than 100 in number. To eliminate them, if you encounter more than 300 at one time, you will use Knocking Seven Danger. [Provide the latest and fastest chapters]
Fortunately, large groups of dwarf hunting teams are extremely powerful and can be seen and avoided from a distance. These large numbers of dwarfs usually target other hunting teams of dwarfs or even smaller ones. Dwarf tribe.
Although there are other monster animals that can be preyed on in the Lupi Forest, the dwarfs, as the largest force in the Lupi Forest, have also become the largest source of food. For dwarfs who are not picky eaters, preying on their own kind is not a bit stressful at all. No, there are even too many of them because they reproduce too fast. When there is a shortage of food, dwarfs in the same tribe will kill each other and eat their own brothers and sisters to reduce their numbers and maximize their living space.
Moreover, only through such continuous tribal killings, these dwarfs will gradually advance from ordinary dwarfs to leaders, elite dwarves, and even demon kings. The leaders of each tribe have gone through many cruel tribes. Excellent warriors who emerged from internal internecine competition for survival.
On the way, we carefully avoided the larger dwarf hunting teams and tribes, and only selected some small teams. Or when two dwarf hunting teams are fighting each other, it feels a bit like guerrilla action.
This different fighting method also allowed the five girls to gradually become more flexible in their thinking, such as baiting and tracking. Hiding, getting rid of, setting up ambushes, etc., methods that were seldom used in the past, are also used more and more.
Especially the little ghost. This little saint originally likes to beat the sap and beat bricks from behind. She is even more comfortable with this kind of tactics. Once, she encountered a group of dwarfs with more than 200 and 500 people. The following is the story of this daring little saint who actually used her flying ability to trick two dwarf hunting teams who were supposed to pass by each other into spinning around, and finally met each other. They started fighting, and then they were bombarded with spells by Vilas and the others who had been hiding aside for a long time, and they made delicious dumplings.
So I have always felt that it would be more appropriate for the little ghost to become a witch.
Because of the strength of the dwarves, there are fewer other monsters in the Lupi Forest, but it is not without them. For example, there are swamp dwellers who can live underwater. They look like a fiery red strange fish with four limbs. They look a bit like a fishman but also Not exactly, but they are certainly the same as fish-men." No, even more disgusting.
These swamp dwellers are obviously aquatic monsters, but they can use fire magic and can breathe fire bombs from their mouths. Their attacks include poison damage, which is also a big trouble. The most helpless thing is that if they feel that the enemy is invincible, they will rush to the front. They jumped back into the water, and the adventurers were extremely helpless about this. It was impossible to jump in with them. Adventurers had no advantage in the water, and there might be piranhas underwater.
When I mentioned this, I couldn't help but feel proud. I excitedly told Vilas and the others about my great achievements in the past. When I first practiced in Kurast, under the leadership of Feini, I was disgusted by these swamp residents. Once, in a fit of rage, he immediately caught one with a fishing rod amidst Fini's impossible cries, and whipped it to death a hundred times.
This is wisdom. If you don’t try, how will you know that you can’t do it? Taking the opportunity, I explained this truth to Vilas and the others over and over again.
There is also a kind of monster that is not affected by dwarfs, called winged nightmares. As the name suggests, they have wings and can fly in the sky. Naturally, they are not afraid of dwarfs, and they often even feed on lone dwarfs.
These winged nightmares are actually those damn advanced monsters of scavengers in the Lugaoin Desert, which are not much different from vultures. They just change their gray image. The whole body of feathers, including the bare neck, are all They are so green and they hide in groups in the trees, making them hard to detect.
These winged nightmares have a high IQ and are even more hated than vultures. After discovering adventurers, they know how powerful they are and generally do not attack them personally. Instead, they wander in the air, croaking to attract the dwarf hunting team, and then take advantage of them. When the dwarf was fighting with the adventurer, he flapped his wings and swooped down, grabbed a dwarf in the middle of the fight and ran away.
Fortunately, Veras and the others were all mages, and they were able to master long-range attacks accurately. These winged nightmares just flew up. Before they had time to scream, they were all shot down by fire bombs and ice arrows, and then were hit by Linya's mixed ice flames. It was reduced to ashes in the explosion.
What makes me most dissatisfied is that these winged nightmares are like vultures. They have bald heads, necks, and pockets. They are naked and don’t have any clothes. With the current explosion rate of Vilas and the others, they can kill more than a dozen winged nightmares. , I just couldn't get a single gold coin from them.
I just don’t know what the three guys from Lal’s team should do when they encounter these winged nightmares. Thinking of this, I laughed unsympathetically.
A paladin and two barbarians are both masters who are not good at long-range attacks. No wonder when I chatted with them a while ago, I always heard them clamoring to sign a few long-range attack mercenaries. I guess they were often attracted by these. Winged Nightmare was depressed.
The number of dwarfs is so huge that along the way, we encounter one group almost every hour. Sometimes, before our battle with one group of dwarves is over, another group comes over.
Fortunately, these dwarfs also have a predatory relationship with each other, so the team of dwarfs that suddenly appeared treated the five girls and the team of dwarfs equally on the battlefield. To put it simply, they wanted to kill each other. As a result, the battle between the two sides suddenly turned into a three-way melee.
Ever since we encountered this emergency situation for the first time, we have ended up in a terrible situation due to insufficient response. The girl started to care about her, and she met her many times. They were expertly dealt with. The easiest way was to withdraw from the battlefield and let the two teams of dwarves fight to the death. It was even easier for them to take advantage of themselves.
Thanks to the sacrifices of batches of dwarfs, the experience of the five people also increased rapidly, almost twice as much as in the Spider Girl Forest. In the ten days of recording the forest, each of them reached a level. It's less than a quarter of the experience needed to advance to the next level.
Of course, the biggest gain is the increase in their combat experience and skills. As a bystander, I can feel this change the most, and I am very happy in my heart.
The bonfire was crackling and dancing at night, and the six people sat around the fire, smelling the fragrance wafting from the pot on the bonfire, swallowing their saliva, and discussing absentmindedly.
After a day of intense fighting, everyone is hungry and exhausted. Fighting is the most physically demanding activity, especially close combat. Even adventurers must replenish themselves by eating a lot and sleeping. This is why they are known as the kings of close combat. The savages eat too much and sleep too much to die.
After they had eaten and drank enough, everyone rubbed their eyes and began to discuss tomorrow's itinerary. Veras took out a large sheepskin map.
The map above is very simple. It roughly marks the terrain from the seaport of Kurast to the center of the ancient city of Kurast in Trevank. There are also some rivers, roads, and signs of special places. You can buy them at the Mages Guild. Two hundred gold coins a piece is not too expensive for adventure.
I bought this map when I first came to Kurast, but I never took it out to look at it at that time. After experiencing Lu Gaoyin’s Temple of Death, I already deeply understood the fact that the map This kind of thing is simply a hindrance to me who is always trying to get lost and find adventure.
Therefore, during the time when Princess Sanwu followed me, I was very concerned about her memory. It should be noted that getting lost is one of the five events with the highest incidence of adventures along with cliffs, valleys, caves, and the bottom of lakes. How could I let this happen? What about the little princess who ruined her own fortune?
Fortunately, this little one seemed to be aware of my resentment. She never said anything along the way and allowed me to take the initiative to get lost. She never left me and served her attentively. On this point, I have to praise her for being a qualified maid.
But now it’s the experience of the five of them, and Hungry Six can’t let me make the decision.
"Why don't we go see the Lupi Cellar? The little ghost pointed to the Lupi Forest area on the map, a big red dot not too far away from where we are now and said, the idea of adventure is like the rolling Yangtze River out of control.
To put it bluntly, the locations marked with red dots on the map are dangerous areas that non-elite adventurers dare not challenge. For example, Cui Fanke's parliament hall is marked with a red dot the size of a silver coin.
"this,"
Vilas, who showed a casual and calm attitude on the road, showed a troubled smile for the first time at the little ghost's suggestion. It was probably because she heard the rumor that the walls of the skin cellar were made of human skin.
Veras is not afraid of spider girls, mice or cockroaches, and can face any type of monster, but that doesn't mean she can accept the experience in a ghost place covered with human skin.
Is little Vilas afraid of the human skin there? "
The little ghost is worthy of being the saint who claims to have a piercing eye. She can see through Vilas's mind at a glance. Sarah and Linya on the side also have uneasy expressions on their delicate and beautiful faces. As long as they are normal people, I believe that they will not I wouldn't be interested in a place like the skin recording cellar.
Although Princess Sanwu is still expressionless and has nothing to do with her, I can clearly sense that the research enthusiasm in her heart is about to start.
"It is precisely because it is covered with human skin that we have to go. Suddenly, the little ghost stood up and waved his hand forward with an awe-inspiring attitude, like a heroine. His face was full of aura of righteousness and determination to die.
Come on, help! The little ghost is possessed by an evil spirit. No, he is possessed by a good spirit!!
"Why, why would you go there for such a reason?" Willas, who was stunned by the little ghost's aura, asked hesitantly.
"With so many human skins attached there, there must be many resentful spirits that cannot be liberated. Don't you think that as a saint, I have an obligation to purify them and free their souls?"
Liar! !
In an instant, the five of us complained in our hearts at the same time.
"However, the rumors that the walls of the skin recording cellar are covered with human skin are not true. Seeing Willas and the others hesitate, I couldn't help but explain with a smile.
"Hey, they all showed surprised expressions.
"It is true that skin recorders like to record skins, but it does not necessarily have to be human skin, and it does not mean that they will stick the skins on the wall. The reason why it is called the skin recorder cellar is because there are a large number of skin recorders staying there. , and the rumor that it is covered with human skin is actually used to scare children, ha.
"grown ups!!"
"Big brother!".
"Brother Wu!".
Instantly, the air above the camp resounded with the shameful and angry screams of the three girls.
This is one of the Seven Horrors of Kurast that Lal and I carefully prepared for them, and we specially chose to say it at night when the lights were dim. It frightened Willas, Sara and Linya at that time. They didn't dare to sleep, although they claimed that it was because they were so excited about chatting that they spent the whole night chatting in the brightly lit hall.
